Long-term Care Quality
In addition to receiving a strong overall score, this facility also earned an elite long-term care rating. We awarded them one of our better grades in that area, with an A+. Facilities that receive this type of score in long-term care typically provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure residents are kept in good health. Although we determined this nursing home had an above average amount of nursing hours provided by aids and other nursing staff, we found its vaccine statistics to be a bit lower than we expected. It gave the pneumonia vaccine to just 78.96679 percent of its patients. This is a statistic we'd really like to see this nursing home bring up. The last statistic we assessed was the facility's hospitalization rate. Here we found that this facility had 2.39 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
Facility Inspections
In addition, this nursing home also received excellent government inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better grades in that category, with an A. Arguably the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this category most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. This wasn't quite on par with some of its other category grades mentioned above. Nursing grades are primarily associated with a facility's level of nurse staffing. Based on the data, it looks like this nursing home provides an impressive 3.9 hours per patient daily. This is more nursing care than most nursing homes provide. In calculating our grades, we apply more weight to hours performed by more highly trained nurses such as registered or licensed nurses. Lastly, we also factored in some quality-based measures. This facility performed well in a few of the quality-based metrics we looked at. For example, in terms of the percentage of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, this nursing home performed better than the national average. This is often a good indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented with better nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to our last category, this facility did not fare well. With an abysmal grade of F in this category, this was obviously this nursing home's worst grade. In determining our short-term care ratings, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The purpose is to formulate a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. In this facility's case, we found that it provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the average facility. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who eventually returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 39.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
